[0079] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0080] 3GPP has defined a new type of IoT (Internet of Things) device: A-IoT (Ambient IoT) devices. These are low-complexity, low-cost, and low-power IoT devices. A-IoT devices have little or no power supply, and are characterized by low energy consumption and low cost.

[0081] Based on whether A-IoT devices have energy storage capabilities and the ability to independently generate signals, 3GPP classifies them into the following three categories:

[0082] Device 1: It has energy storage capabilities but no independent signal generation capabilities. It transmits signals through backscattering.

[0083] Device 2a: It has energy storage capability but no independent signal generation capability. It transmits signals through backscattering. The stored energy can be used to amplify the power of the backscattered signal.

[0084] Device 2b: It has energy storage capabilities, independent signal generation capabilities, and uses radio frequency devices for signal transmission.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Currently, A-IoT supports two network topologies: one is the access network device (…). Figure 1 and Figure 2 BS) and A-IoT devices ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 The topology is either a direct connection between the access network device and the A-IoT device, or an intermediate node is set up between the access network device and the A-IoT device. Figure 1 and Figure 2The diagram shows the topology of intermediate nodes, connections between intermediate nodes and A-IoT devices, and connections between intermediate nodes and access network devices. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The solid line in the middle represents the transmission of environmental IoT data and / or signals. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dashed line indicates the transmission of data via the Uu interface (air interface).

[0086] The link through which access network devices or intermediate nodes send signals to A-IoT devices is called the PRDCH (Physical Reader to Device Channel), or simply the R2D (Reader to Device) channel. Signals sent via the PRDCH channel are simply referred to as R2D signals. The link through which A-IoT devices send signals to access network devices or intermediate nodes is called the PDRCH (Physical Device to Reader Channel), or simply the D2R (Device to Reader) channel. Signals sent via the PDRCH channel, or signals reflected from the PDRCH channel, are simply referred to as D2R signals.

[0087] In the first topology, A-IoT devices communicate directly and bidirectionally with access network devices. Data and / or signaling can be exchanged between access network devices and A-IoT devices. In this topology, the access network device that sends signals to the A-IoT device and the access network device that receives signals from the A-IoT device can be different access network devices.

[0088] In the second topology, A-IoT devices and intermediate nodes communicate bidirectionally. In this topology, intermediate nodes can be terminal devices such as relays, IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) nodes, UEs (User Equipment), and repeaters, all with A-IoT communication capabilities. The intermediate nodes transmit environmental IoT data and / or signaling between the access network devices and the A-IoT devices.

[0089] As described above, both device 1 and device 2a transmit signals via backscattering. The following is a brief description of the backscattering method using embodiments of this application:

[0090] Backscattering generally involves an excitation signal source and a signal reflection device (e.g., device 1, device 2a). The excitation signal source can send an excitation signal (carrier wave) to the signal reflection device, which can reflect the excitation signal and modulate the information into the reflected excitation signal by changing the load impedance of the antenna of the signal reflection device, which is the D2R signal.

[0091] The generation of excitation signals currently includes two topologies: inside and outside. In the outside topology, the excitation signal can be provided by an external transmitter that is different from the reader. In other words, in the outside topology, the excitation signal source can be an external transmitter. In the inside topology, the excitation signal can be provided by the reader. In other words, in the inside topology, the excitation signal source can be the reader.

[0092] In an optional embodiment of this application, the reading device may be the intermediate node mentioned above, by... Figure 2 It is known that the reading device can communicate with the access network device on the one hand, and with the A-IoT device on the other hand, which may cause some confusion and interference.

[0093] For example, a typical scenario is that the access network device might receive information sent from the reading device to the A-IoT device. Because the access network device cannot correctly parse this information, it will schedule the reading device to retransmit it. This process leads to unnecessary scheduling by the access network device and / or unnecessary uplink transmissions between the access network device and the reading device, resulting in a waste of transmission resources. Another typical scenario is that the reading device is unsure whether the access network device is scheduling a transmission between itself and the access network device or between itself and the A-IoT device. This causes the reading device to send uplink information to both the access network device and R2D signals to the A-IoT device, causing interference between the two communication links. Yet another typical scenario is that the reading device is unsure of the purpose of the resources configured by the access network device, resulting in transmission chaos.

[0094] Therefore, how to achieve communication between the reading device and the access network device, and with the Internet of Things device, is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0095] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a resource configuration method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. In this resource configuration method, a reading device receives first resource configuration information sent by an access network device. The first resource configuration information is used to configure target transmission resources. The target transmission resources are used to perform at least one of the following: communication between the reading device and an IoT device, communication between the reading device and the access network device, and sending an excitation signal from an excitation source device to an IoT device. The reading device performs signal and / or data transmission according to the first resource configuration information. In this way, the reading device can communicate according to the configured transmission resources, thereby solving the problem of how a terminal, as a reading device, can communicate with IoT devices and access network devices, and avoiding confusion and interference during the communication process.

The terminal device can be a USB storage device, other personal computer memory devices, and a dongle. It can also communicate with one or more core networks (CNs) via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The terminal device can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with the radio access network. Examples of such devices include Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), personal computers, tablets, and Machine-type Communication (MTC) terminals.

Depending on the specific application, a base station may also be called an access point, or a device in the access network that communicates with the terminal device through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The access network equipment can be used to exchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the terminal device and the rest of the access network, where the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The access network equipment can also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface.

[0130] In an optional embodiment of this application, there is no overlap between the first transmission resource, the second transmission resource, and the third transmission resource, or the first transmission resource, the second transmission resource, and the third transmission resource are orthogonal to each other.

[0131] Step 302: Read the device to perform signal and / or data transmission according to the first resource configuration information.

[0132] In the resource configuration method provided in this embodiment, the reading device receives first resource configuration information sent by the access network device.
